A Cost-effective Phenothiazine-based Fluorescent Chemosensor for Selective Detection of Hydrazine and its Application To Real Water Samples.

ABSTRACT: Hydrazine is a highly toxic yet industrially indispensable compound extensively employed in aerospace, pharmaceutical, and polymer sectors. Its pronounced carcinogenicity and ecological persistence necessitate the development of sensitive and selective detection strategies, particularly for aqueous environments. Herein, we present PHENOZ, a cost-effective and structurally simple phenothiazine-based fluorescent probe functionalized with a dicyanovinyl moiety, capable of selectively detecting hydrazine with a prominent turn-on fluorescence response. PHENOZ was synthesized in only two steps from commercially available starting materials. The probe displayed no background fluorescence in the absence of hydrazine; however, a pronounced emission emerged upon hydrazine addition. This behavior is
